thanks all so here are some pics of my grow my plants are really tall but i think its b/c they were stretching for light. now that i have a dual flourescent light overhang two 24inch flourescent tubes and 2 cfl 35w i hope theyll stop shooting up and maybe start growing out, im totally going into this blind i have no idea really if thats enough light im thinking ill need some more once they start to flower, but for now it should be good right? umm aswell the soil i bought is miracle grow time released, so dod i need some more fert or will that do for now, all the plants are green and lively some are starting to fall over (which i will fix today) other than that i have one major question i have a friend who is a veteran grower and he told me to distinguish between male and female right above the branches there are these two little hairs he said if there crossed there male if there straight there female, is this true and what are some easy ways to distinguish between the male and female there are 12 plants so i should have a outcome of around 6 females correct? and when do i switch the cycle?
